clintons will refuse to be held accountable to any standards of everyday americans that hillary is asking for votes for, right? and their foundation may as well be called clinton, inc. president clinton while married to -- he is still married to hillary clinton, he got $26 million in speaking fees from organizations and foreign governments that simultaneously donated to the foundation. she has a huge problem. >> those are the allegations. >> it's the allegations, but as you point out, the more you read -- i'm sorry, gretchen. the more you point this out, what we see is that the stories are sweeping. the evidence is there. the clintons keep -- hillary clinton herself keeps refusing to be held accountable. this went back to bill clinton's days. >> this poll has to do with honest and trustworthiness and leadership. american voters say 54% to 38% mrs. clinton is not honest and trustworthy. you were just defending her record in the past. how do you get past that poll? >> i'm saying let's focus on the future. >> how do you get past the poll? >> the fact is there are two other polls that firmly show the american public is currently divided on whether she is honest and trustworthy. the abc/"

you have the clinton foundation and you have the clinton global initiative which is subsidiary of the clintonoundation. they have been able to manuever money between those two organizations in very secretive way for a very long time and they never had to disclose anything. donors expenditures, nothing. it is all been highly secretive. look, you talk about propriety and possible conflicts of interest. from the beginning, a normal candidate a normal person coming in as secretary of state would have said, we are stopping all of these foreign donations foreign governments, shadowy characters. we're not accepting any of that money for that very reason because it might look bad, it might be appearance -- martha: of conflict. >> correct. in the clinton case, martha, the appearance of conflicts of interests was actually like an invitation. it was actually a attractive for these people to donate and attractive for the clintons to take the money. martha: the stakes are very high obviously for all of this doug, for the whole family. because remember bill clinton one reasons founding this foundation afte

as a public official and public figure the clinton foundation hillary clinton and bill clinton, are goingo have to make full and open disclosures with regard to their financial interests. i can speak first-hand, i released eight years of tax returns and every little thing that i did was scrutinized, criticized, torn apart. and expect the same thing to happen for somebody who is running for president. and with respect to getting 2.3 some odd million dollars from the russian government, why are they paying the clinton foundation that amount of money? it is not because they love, you know, the work that they're doing. so i think you need to follow the money. i have some very serious doubts. i think it's a real problem. lori: fred i would like you to pick up on that. the uranium deal, this situation that we've been reporting on, it is hillary clinton signing off on the deal just as the canadian owner gave a generous very generous donation to the clinton foundation. do you think this is just the tip of the iceberg now the clintons having to refile their taxes? >> for one thing, there are many

those commitments went beyond many of the requirements. >> reporter: the clinton foundation ceo, a former aide to secretary clinton, acknowledged this week that the foundation failed to disclose foreign government donations for three of clinton's four years at state and is now refiling tax forms for them. that followed earlier disclosures from the new book "clinton cash" by peter schweizer. >> you've never had a situation where you've hadad a sitting senator and a secretary of state whose spouse is taking in tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests at the same time. >> reporter: former maryland governor martin owe mall low a. potential primary republican will return to baltimore. clinton, for her part used her twitter feed which nowadays sports a new rainbow aimed at the support for same-sex marriage saying that she's praying for peace and answers in baltimore. it looks that clinton might have an announced challenger bret, as we're expecting an announcement from independent senator bernie sanders who caucuses with the democrats. it's expected that he will run. >> okay james. thank you. >>> on the republi

of the concern that clinton's money or money that goes to the foundation may be a way for foreign governments to curry favor with hillary clinton, secretary of state. yet bill clinton continues after that to take millions of dollars from foreign -- for foreign entities for speeches and tens of millions of dollars for the foundation in donations, despite those concerns. >> i agree that senator lugar asked a valid question and the clintons responded as if it were a valid question and reached an agreement on making everything transparent. and, in fact, the clinton foundation donors are all named -- there are no anonymous donors like other nonprofit. i don't think other than a few inadvertent errors they violated the agreement on transparency. >> we know because of the reporting in peter's book, a major violation of failure to close is ian telfer chairman of uranium one, gave $2.35 million to the clinton foundation through his family's foundation, and yet that contribution, $2.35 million i know the clintons have a lot of money but that's not pocket change, that contribution was never reported. >> look, we've known each other for a long time. you used the word major. yo

clinton campaign. the clinton foundation has a technology mistakes in the handling of some of the foreign donations. bill clinton reportedly got paid $200,000 by goldman sachs for a speech he gave in 2011 months before the gotham city firm started lobbying the clinton state department. that is according to the "international business times." here is a sampling of what the clintons got. >> what still boggles the mind is why doesn't hillary deal with this herself? >> the sloppiness in the greed that follows on this. >> it is about the appearance of conflict of interest and everyone seems to understand this is a huge problem. >> this is not a hard case that the republicans need to make that they are in this for themselves. >> it feeds the aura of what people have about the clintons. mark: that is a lot of negativity from normal allies. how will hillary turn the page? by asking iowans to literally turn the page with a dramatic op-ed. the column was so anodyne, it would not make news on the slowest newsday of the year. is the clinton foundation controversy burning out or blowing up? john: i don't think either one. it

$2.35 million contribution to the clinton foundation which apparently was not publicly disclosed by the clintons. your reaction to that is what? >> well, secretary clinton promised the white house that she would disclose contributions that came into the foundation, like this one, and now we know that those were not disclosed. so the secretary has not been forthright and forthcoming in things she promised the white house. so i think we're still connecting the dots, but it's a great concern and specifically with russia where secretary clinton early on in her term pressed the reset button with russia to say we'd have a new arrangement, a new day with russia. well now we see what's happened with russia and with putin and taking over crimea and incursions into ukraine, selling weaponry recently to iran, and now we know that vladimir putin controls 20% of the uranium in the united states and has a relationship with iran at a time that we're trying to do -- the president is trying to do an arrangement with iran with regard to nuclear weapons. >> "the times" coverage also put on the front page the fact that former president bill clinton close in time to the tra

clinton foundation. and the clinton foundation does good work around the world. also bill clinton's speech fees going up to $400,000 range at a time when his wife was secretary of state and later potential president. is there a weakness at the center of these stories that as of now, no one has proven hillary clinton took an action to benefit any of these foundation donors? >> yes. that's why i think this will fade to some degree. i agree it's not going to hurt them in the democratic primary. we'll hear it on the other side. >> stories are very complicated. >> but overall, foreigners aren't allowed to give to politicians. is there a reason for that. here that's why this story is juicy. you have all these foreigners not just giving $2,000 but millions of dollars. >> what about the fact you alluded to the clinton campaign that hillary clinton is campaigning, meeting with groups of voters in iowa new hampshire, and not talking to the press at alles a these questions build up? >> right. it's a huge distraction to the campaign. as we heard with the e-mails, it took weeks to respond. you a

surrounding conflict of interest allegations against hillary clinton relating to the clinton foundation and her own conduct while secretary of state. the clinton foundation now responding to claims of secrecy and questionable donations. the foundations ceo says and i'm quoting "yes we have made mistakes as many organizations of our size do but we are acting quickly to remedy them and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future." doug mckelway is live. bill clinton's appearance fees rose dramatically after his wife became secretary of state? >> that's right, julie. it was 11 or more that tripled the going rate for the speeches before his wife was secretary of state. and in many cases, the speeches were delivered in countries or for foreign entries that had pressing business in the united states or which sought state approval. many of the foreign interests contributed heavily to the clinton foundation or the clinton global initiative. >> is it coincidence in a pattern that we see repeated dozens of times where large clinton supporters are -- have business before the state department they make large payments and favorable actions a

clinton foundation spent $110 million on employee salaries and benefits. that's more than the $75 million the foundation spent on charity program grants. asked about these ratios, the clinton foundation did not respond. over the weekend the clinton foundation admitted to making mistakes an how it disclosed some donors and the foundation's acting chief executive said the foundation would refile some of the forms. quote, yes can he made mistakes as many organization he of our size do but we are acting quickly to remedy them and are taking steps to ensure they don't happen in the future. public watchdog groups say it would be a good start. >> it would be difficult to suggest they would have to cease and desist all activity. but this candidate will come with certainly some gratitude if not influence of those donors. >> a biggest question is whether those foundation, clinton family's accumulation of wealth will matter to donors. for now the foundation is refusing to answer critics they insist their supporters don't care about these issues. david sirota, in a story published he raises he even more questions about the clintons and possible conflict of interest. and gax what do go

clinton foundation for the charitable work they do. >> essentially secretary of state hillary clinton promised to make public the donations to the clinton foundation and speaking fees for president clinton. isn't it clear now that secretary clinton did not a boyd by her own memorandum. >> i am not sure if that is clear. >> you should ask her. >> we read that uranium one and foreign company donated over 2 million to the clinton foundation while secretary of state that is a clear violation of a memorandum of understanding as it is explained to us by you. >> for the details of the transaction. i refer you to the state department or secretary clinton's team. that is not reviewed at this level. >> and we know that it previously 500000 from the algerrian went to the clinton foundation. isn't this a clear violation to the memorandum. >> american i refer you to secretary clinton's team? >> can you check in on this: >> you are asking about the compliance and whether it lived up the standards that secretary clinton herself. >> they refer us back to the white house on whether or not any agency objected to that uranium one deal allowing the russian

clinton foundation and paid bill clinton a $500,000 speaking fee. quote, russian nuclear energy conquers the world. no one has produced a shred of evidence that hillary clinton ever took action as secretary of state in this. here now to help us unfold a lot more in this "hannity" big board experience is my guest. let's go back to 2005. clinton takes a trip to kazakhstan. >> right. >> on this trip he's with a guy who donated millions of dollars to the clinton foundation. >> right. >> they had secured mining rights to three specific mines. explain. >> that opened the door to this ownership that has allowed the russians to corner the market on uranium here in the united states. the problem i see for hillary clinton is think about at the beginning of the clinton administration. aides signed a memorandum of understanding that there would be no donations from foreign governments, but bill clinton's speaking engagements, there would be a heads-up or some sort of vetting going on. they promised all kinds of transparency and didn't deliver on it approximate. >> it was a memorandum of transparency. that's a big deal. i would assume they're going to go sideways. >> rig

clinton because there are now these allegations, i know you're familiar with it from this book by a former bush aide independent newspaper investigations that the clinton family foundation failed to document foreign donations, accepted donations from people tied to a russian ukraine yan mining company and here's the clinton campaign's response. no one has produced a shred of evidence that hillary clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the clinton foundation. do you see any there, there? >> no i don't. i think it's part of the witchhunt that the clintons always attract.

clinton spokesman says, quote, no one has produced a shred of evidence that hillary clinton ever took action as secretary of state in order to support the interests of donors to the clinton foundationorting was originally based on material from the book "clinton cash," which critics say is a right-wing hit job. ryan let's talk about the strategy here. how damaging is this and how does clinton need to respond? >> it's one more occasion where, you know, she's spending time, you know, on the defensive. you know a couple things can be true at the same time. one, you know on the one hand you can have kind of a -- you know, people that don't have her interests at heart, you know putting a lot of money into trying to dig up dirt and putting it in the light least favorable to her. at the same time, you have you know, the clintons doing things that allow these sorts of things to get spun out. you know the state department wasn't the one necessarily leading the approval of this but, you know, secretary hillary clinton is a huge figure, and so does the clinton foundation need to be taking that amount of money from these russian sources, from these canadian sources, you know, in the middle of

clinton's credibility, her honest wree and trustworthiness. bret baier is angering his special tomorrow night with explosive tails on donations the clinton foundation accepted while mrs. clinton was secretary of state. he's going to join us live in just a moment. first let's take a look at a clip from the tangled clinton web. brett got an lieu sieve interview with peter swietser who told fox how russia came to control up to half of america's uranium. >> uranium one became very active in acquiring uranium assets actually in the united states itself. why 2008 2009 they were collateral attractive target for the russian government. >> and the russians a kwhierd that target. >> they would acquire what would amount to 50% of projected uranium output by 2015. >> in other words, russia now controls what was projected to be up to half of america's uranium. >> we're talking about things that relate to the nuclear industry. we're talking about the russian government which already provides equipment, material to iran. >> that's correct. >> the problem is that hillary clinton's family foundation the clinton foundation was receiving tens of millions of dollars from shareholders in uranium

explanation of the concern that clinton's money that goes to clinton or to the foundation, may be a way for foreign governments and foreign entities to curry favor with hillary clinton as secretary of state. yet, bill clinton continues at that -- after that to take millions of dollars from foreign -- for foreign entities for speeches and tens of millions for the donations. despite those concerns. >> i agree senator lugar asked a valid question and clintons responded on a valid question on making everything transparent. the clinton foundation donors are all named, no anonymous donors unlike lots of other non-profits and moreover, i don't think but for a few inadvertent errors they ever violated the agreement on transparency on not taking money from foreign governments. >> but we know because of the reporting in peter schweizer's book of one major violation of this a failure to disclose and that is that ian telfer the chairman of uranium one, the company that the russians wanted to buy, gave 2.5, $3 million to the clinton foundation through his family's fernwood foundation and yet that contribution $2.35 million, i know the clintons have a lot of money but that's not

foreign governments and companies were giving million dollar checks to the clinton foundation because they cared about the clintony were gaining access. that's what really makes americans raise their eyebrows and say wait a minute, was this in the best interest of the country? and the answer may be no. gerri: here's another example. exhibit number two, colombia free trade agreement. there is a canadian energy company which stands to benefit give money to the clinton foundation clinton drops opposition to the trade deal. this is so unseemly guy. >> called it bad for workers and all of a sudden fine for workers. there was money exchanged. gerri: 4 million. >> so many millions of dollars, and the thing i want to keep bringing this back to. we have the active secretary of state. the woman in charge of running u.s. foreign policy with her family and foundations taking in millions of dollars from foreign entities and foreign governments many of which were not even vetted by the state department. in one world, is that okay? even if we set aside the details in the book, and eager to see what they are. just the fact this

clinton foundation who were involved in that nuclear deal. the two individuals who were the financial advisers on the deal of the sale to the russians are both major clinton foundation supporters. the chairman of that foundation, ian telfer whose donations were not disclosed -- sorry, clinton foundation contributor and there are others so this is not just about frank giustra. this is about multiple layers. >> you did disclose in your book that he sold the interest. beyond that deal was approved by a board of the government called the cfius board that is actually chaired by the secretary of treasury. eight other agencies on board, the secretary of state, homeland security, defense, commerce, energy, the nuclear regulatory commission signed off on it. and even though the state department was one of nine agencies to sign off on it, there is no evidence at all that hillary clinton got directly involved in this decision. >> well, i think it warrants further investigation and there's a couple things that need to be clarified. number one, she was one vote or the state department was one vote on cfius, but any agency has veto power, so it needs to be unanimous so

clinton, the clinton foundation, and as overseas money. tonight, we're going to look at the facts and find out how worried the clinton campaign should be and how much of this is really and how much of it is vital. >>> plus, president obama told me this week that senator elizabeth warren is, quote, wrong when it comes to that massive trade deal he's pushing. tonight, elizabeth warren's response from last night. >>> and the florida mailman, actually is a mailman, who land ed that gyrocopter at a u.s. capitol joins us tonight. a u.s. congressman says if it were up to him, that copter would be shot down. the pilot, 63-year-old doug hughes is here tonight. talk about blaming the messenger, congressman! >>> the majority of democrats in the senate finance committee have voted to put the trade deal on fastrack, so all you're hearing about all progressives are against this is not accurate. this is "hardball," the place for politics. if your purse is starting to look more like a tissue box... you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin®. because it starts working faster on th

there's a clear distinction between hillary clinton secretary of state and hillary clinton part of the foundation. bill clinton is able to do whatever he'd like to do. >> you know what, richard, i've got to wrap. here's the problem. he's making money when she's secretary of state. >> why shouldn't he? >> a lot of those promises were never followed through. they didn't file half of the things that they were supposed to that she said they would. >> the canadian government, because she was secretary of state at the time. >> richard, you've got to know the facts before you come on the show. thanks for being with us. >>> we're going to see a little coverage of the special white house dinner. and a lot more of my exclusive with donald trump. is he running for president? his surprising answer is next. and later, my out rage on the slaughter of krisz yans continues. don't forget, you've got two hours of jus tint e tis tonight with special coverage of the white house correspondence dinner. and is hillary clinton all about the money? facebook or tweet me what you think of judge jeannine, hash think of judge jeannine, ha

governments and entities may perceive the clinton foundation as a means to gain favor with the secretary of state. although neither senator clinton nor president clintonsonal financial stake in the foundation. obviously its work benefits their legacy and their public service priorities. >> the foundation and the president-elect decided to go beyond what the law and the ethics rules call for to address even the appearance of conflict, and that is why they signed a memorandum of understanding, which outlines the voluntary steps that the foundation is taking to address potential concerns that might come up down the road. >> again, that was early 2009. it do not get much attention back then. there was the theoretical possibility of a conflict of interest, the idea that a foreign government or foreign entity might give massively to the clinton foundation in the hopes of winning favor with secretary of state hillary clinton. there was that theoretical possibility, and there was also clinton's insistence that there wouldn't even be an appearance of any conflict. but today that same issue suddenly got a lot of attention. the "new york times" reporting that wh

the clintons step into the spotlight amid growing questions about their foundation as a new book called "clinton cash" tries to link clintondonations and speaking fees to hillary clinton's actions as secretary of state. cnn senior washington correspondent is tracking the clinton campaign in concord, new hampshire, and peter hamby is in washington. jeff i want to start with you. it's weird that bill clinton and hillary clinton are delivering speeches at the same time in two different places isn't it? >> definitely brings into view the fact that this will not be an ordinary presidential campaign that hillary clinton will always be competing or working alongside former president bill clinton but for now the clinton campaign is fine with that. she's not giving a speech as much as giving a very very small conversation with a handful of people. bill clinton is giving a long scheduled public speech at georgetown on public service. it's the third of four speeches in a series he's giving. beyond that we're not going to see bill clinton out on the campaign trial any time soon. he may be fund-raising a bit but he's not going to be ac

josh earnest has actually spoken more about hillary clinton's e-mails and the clinton foundation that hillary clinton has. john: your friend john kasich gave a wide-ranging talk. he said "wall street is overwhelmingly too greedy. do you agree with him? reince: i don't know. i didn't hear the comments. i would not blanket lee make it a comment that not blanket lee -- i would not make a blanket comment like that. i would never make a judgment on an entire community in business. i wasn't a part of these comments. so i am just listening to you and reacting. i don't know what the context was or what was said. i'm sorry, but i'm doing my best to respond. john: we were talking earlier about the white house correspondents dinner being here tomorrow. there are a lot of republican presidential candidates that will not be here because they are down in florida. people see out in las vegas the faith and freedom conference. a lot of them are out in other places. can you talk about the importance of those events, which one strike you as being particularly consequential? reince: most of them were out at the republic

of all uranium production secretary of state clinton signed off of the deal clinton foundation receives 2.5 in donations linked to your radium and bill clinton gets half a million for his speech linked to the radium one investment banking and canadian miners donated to the clinton foundation they failed to disclose any of those nations and the fact is we only know about this because of canadian reporting requirements that is damning for the state department, the clinton and global initiative the president's former secretary of state and president obama? >> is. those are the things i am talking about. each one individually in many cases this is bad as it stands but the picture is 100 times worse as they're all together. >> this is the committee on foreign investment in the united states it is an extraordinary tale and it is inconceivable to me this took place about the knowledge of the president or the commerce secretary or the members who have not even been mentioned to this point. >> they probably did not know about the contributions it would be up to the secretary of state to put something on the table and that it not take place. lou: they

clinton foundation. do you feel and does the president feel that the clinton foundation and hillary clinton provided sufficient information about the foundation's activities while she was secretary of state? are you fully satisfied with the disclosure from the foundation? >> i haven't been presented any evidence to indicate that somehow there's been insufficient information provided to the administration. >> getting back to the operation, i wanted to ask about gadahn one more time. was he -- you mentioned he was a prominent spokeman for al qaeda. had he moved to an operational role in any way? >> i don't have additional assessment about his activities to share with you other than to note he was an al qaeda leader who frequented this particular al qaeda compound. he is somebody who did serve as the public face of al qaeda in some of their communications. he is somebody that was wanted by the united states government for treason and providing material support to terrorists. and there was an assessment of near certainty that an operation against this compound would succeed in taking out members of the al qaeda le
